This time of year is very busy! Most of that busy-ness, however, is because we are chasing after temporal things. It is so easy to get caught up in the various seasonal activities—parties, shopping, gift buying, planning, baking, decorating, year-end reports, decorating the house, and various preparations. For many of us, these consume so much of our time and energy that we have little time to do other things, and we see other pulls on our time as a burden.
